    See the viewing area.

    Standing on Athens’ highest point, at the summit of Mount Lycabettus (Likavittos), you enjoy a spectular panorama of the city (marble maps on the terraces point out the main sights).

    A cable car runs up to the 227m (910ft) peak from Odos Ploutarchou in Kolonaki. Hearty climbers can make the trek on foot.

    On Orthodox Easter, at midnight, a candlelight procession makes its way down from Agios Georgious, the 19th-century chapel which is perched at the top. Cannons on the western slope are fired on Greek Independence Day and special occasions. The hill was never included within the ancient city walls; since it had no natural springs, it was untenable for any length of time.

    The views from here are best early in the morning, before the heat and smog produce their inevitable haze. A visitors’ pavilion provides refreshments, and there is also a modern amphitheatre nearby.

        • Well worth the walk. Great view of rhe city pretty much any time of the day. Walk took us about 20 minutes from the closest residential street to the top (28 year old). Good path, can be done with kids, might take longer.
        • Busy, even in the winter! A great place to end the day.
        • Must visit for the views. You can hike up on winding paths (more fun) in 15-20mins or take the funicular for €5 If you stay until dark it's probably best to take the funicular back down as there's no lighting on the hike down. It can get crowded with tourists at the top at sunset... but that is a magical time to be there.
        • Amazing views and restaurant at the top there is also a train if you don't want to walk. Definitely worth a trip
        • Great view for free if you don't mind an uphill walk
